I am practically in the employ of Mr. Nobel. I have to meet everyone he sends my way.

Happy is he who can give himself up.

Visit me once each year, for it's wrong to abandon people forever.

I believe society has a right to defend itself, just as the individual has the right to attack that with which he disagrees.

God did not intend religion to be an exercise club.

I defend both the freedom of expression and society's right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing. It is the natural way of things.

When you spend time with your friends, what do you talk about? Those things which made an impression on you that day, that week ... I write stories the same way. Events at home, in school, at work, in the street, these are the bases for a story. Some experiences leave such a deep impression that instead of talking about them at the club I work them into a novel.
